Visit to Fukuoka, Japan.

I will write about my favorite pictures today.

I already wrote (I think) what I am South Korean, I lived 13 years and then I came to South America. I almost visit to Korea like every 2 or 3 years. So, I am missing my family every days, (specially the food what my mom makes to me).

The last year, I visited my country. I was so happy and I proposed to my family to travel another country to wide my experience and to make good memories with my family. We had many candidate, China, Japan, Spain, Italia, etc… in those candidates, I wanted to go Japan, because I love Japanese Architectures and there’s philosophy, like Sou Fujimoto, Tadao Ando and Toyo Ito.

So, we go to the Japan (The cost was more chipper then another countries, I think it was for that reason, in that time, Japanese money was very chipper for ABENOMICS). So we went to FUKUOKA, Japan. Which site with many nature thermal spring. My parents love that. So our first importance of chose hotel was, Be near of thermal spring.

In the hotel, we could wear Japanese traditional cloths and take some experience of Japanese traditional room style. they were 2 beds and traditional japanese living, i forgot the name (i think it was Tatami, i´m not sure), they sit in that floor with nothing.

Tatami (?)

And we visited to Kumamoto Castle. That was big castle fully Japanese style. I impressed whit those curves and purification style, I felt Minimalism in that castle (the Korean Castle are with many ornament and very colorful).   There’s my picture with my family.

Gyeongbokgung, Seoul, Korea

Almost we went to the market which located near of Kumamoto Castle. We had opportunity to buy some gifts and souvenirs. I bought Japanese style chopsticks. I like use it. And we ate Traditional Japanese dish there looks like looks so pure and concise, there was delicious, but it was very salty in same time. I ate them with 4 cups of water. I’m not sure of the traditional dish is salty or the chef who made it lost his tongue and lost his taste feel. The dish was not fulfilling.

We stayed 4 days in Japan. In those time, we know many place, many people and many Japanese culture. I really impressed about a difference between Korean Culture and Japanese Culture. Before the visit to japan, I thought the culture will be similar or no many difference. But it was totally another country with Korea. The peoples are very calm and quite, every street we visited was very clean and no garbage in there. Maybe that place is touristic place, but being touristic place, in Korea or another country I visited, they were many or less garbage in the street. I really surprised with that.


If I had another opportunity to visit to Japan, I will go to know Tokyo, the capital of Japan to know the difference with Fukuoka

A Special Place in Santiago: Costanera Center, a biggest Shopping Mall in Chile

This is my first post in my life in Blog. I think this will be a good experience for all of my life.
I´d like to present new place today it called Costaner Center.

This place, more than place, this is a name of Shopping Mall in Providencia commune next to Mapocho River in corner with Nueva Tobalaba Street and Andres Bello Avenue. This shopping mall is a tallest tower in South America, it has 300m of altitude with equipment of office, hotel, shopping mall and a viewpoint in last floor.
I often go this place for shopping, see a movie, have a dinner and take a time with my friends or with my girlfriend. In last Saturday, I went with my girlfriend to buy new boots or shoes, something to gift it for my girlfriend witch day was quarter anniversary of our relationship. I bought high heels for her. She loved it. She said it will use when she go to the party or some important events.


But I don´t like to go this place, because, there are many people every time I go, I really feel uncomfortable in place where are many peoples crash shoulder to shoulder. And this place is totally built for a commercial purpose, there are no architecture, no respect a context Costaner Center is take up the place brutally unaware, no respond to people who work there or who use that place, there are no rest place in all building for workers and customers, no respect a culture it has the place, witch means many musicians or artist look that place for new opportunity to show those performance, but the design is not good to be enough that culture.


Whatever, we have no chose. That is already built and it is working until now and for many time.
